Tornado researchers have confirmed that a twister hit an area near Kemptville, Ont., last Sunday.<\/p>\n
The tornado emerged when a storm passed through, causing damage to trees and fields, according to Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP).<\/p>\n
A survey found tree damage indicating it reached a maximum wind speed of 115 km\/h over a short, narrow path, researchers said.<\/p>\n
They estimate that the tornado started at 3:45 p.m. and travelled 1.18 kilometres northeast.<\/p>\n
The team gave the event an EF0 rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale \u2014 the lowest category used to classify tornadoes and downbursts. Ratings range from EF0 to EF5.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada had issued a yellow-level rainfall warning for eastern Ontario and western Quebec that weekend, warning that between\u00a050 and 100 millimetres of rain could fall.<\/p>\n
